Honegg ran to the beach with his men, and that was when he saw Wiltons body. Tied around two wooden planks, he seemed to have died in a similar fasion to the sailor he killed earlier. Even the wound on his stomach was identical as well. It was genuinely an ironic situation. However, the cut on his stomach appeared to be added post-mortem. The lethal wound was actually a small hole on his chest. He must have been killed by an arrow.

Just like the dead pirates on both of Wiltons ships, the perpetrator left no clues around the crime scene. However, even a blind person would know who the culprit was. The Skeleton was here for less than a day, and the only person they had friction with was Zhang Heng. Both of them argued at the port, with Zhang Heng attacking Wiltons ship in the end. Since his ship was severely damaged, he had no choice but to release the sailors from the Gentle Breeze. Admittedly, that was how they became enemies.

Many who gathered there knew that this matter wasnt about to be settled just like that, but nobody expected Zhang Heng to make the first move as well. All the while, he had the upper hand, so everyone was shocked when they saw how he tackled this problem. It was both ruthless and brutal.

Wilton was one of the bloodthirstiest pirates Nassau had ever witnessed. He sliced open the stomach of a living man in front of everyone and even smiled while he was at it. That was enough to send chills down everyones spines. He was indeed a lunatic. Three hours after the incident, Zhang Heng used the simplest way to avenge the sailor.

A total of 200 pirates were brutally killed. When dawn arrived, the fishermen had first spotted Wiltons body, and the entire tragedy was unfolded before the people of Nassau. Conflicts were rather frequent amongst the pirates of Nassau. Typically, they would only argue over their dispute. Rarely, some resorted to physical fights. Even the most severe incident that they witnessed were two captains brawling with each other. None had ever seen an entire gang of pirates being annihilated, what more, by their fellow pirates.

Of course, anything could happen at sea with witnesses few and far between. Right now, this incident occurred at a busy port. Honegg was natuarally displeased. In the period of a night, the event had escalated and was blown out of proportion into something out of his control. After Honegg warned Zhang Heng, it seemed that he was willing to make peace with Wilton. With the help of Black Prince Sam, the incident was supposed to end right there.

As compared to Zhang Heng and Jackdaw, Honegg was more worried about the Skeleton, especially Wilton, whose absolute merciless personality was a rarity amongst the pirates. Birds of the same feather flocked together, and now, Zhang Heng displayed similar brutality. Honegg began to worry that they would cause more trouble to Nassau. He then took another look at Wiltons body. It appeared that Wilton had severely underestimated Zhang Heng. If he knew that Zhang Heng was coming at him, he would have killed Zhang Heng first even if it meant losing his flag.

Where is he right now?! asked Honegg furiously.

The moment Zhang Heng annihilated the entire Wiltons pirate group, it meant that he was directly challenging Honeggs authority. It appeared that yesterdays warning was all but wasted breath. It was indeed an embarrassing moment for him.

Honeggs man hesitated to answer his question. However, when he saw his boss getting angrier, he finally spoke up.

Someone saw the Jackdaws pirates near Carinas trading center. It appears they got a good yield during their last voyage. I think they are getting their share of money now.

Honegg harrumphed and stormed to the trade center without saying a word. His men looked at each other, and a smart-alec ran to tell Domingo about it. The rest were forced to follow Honegg as he looked for Zhang Heng. Soon, Honegg spotted Carina talking to Zhang Heng from afar and increased his pace. Zhang Heng instantly noticed Honegg coming at him in a mighty fury.

Honegg was one of the most experienced pirates in Nassau. He was a generous man when he was still a captain, even going as far as to give a ship that hed robbed to his men. Rumour had it that half of the captains of Nassau were involved with him one way or another. It might sound like an exaggeration, but it proved that he had connections all over the island.

Captain Honegg, how can I help you?

Zhang Heng approached Honegg first and greeted him politely. At first, Honegg wanted to confront him about Wiltons death but became speechless the moment they met. After witnessing Wiltons body and all the dead on the two ships, Honegg felt that Zhang Heng had changed. The Jackdaw had gotten famous in Nassau recently. The reason of their success had everything to do with their conflict with the black-market alliance. Since they lacked experience, old sea legs like Honegg didnt pay too much attention to him.

After last nights incident, Honegg unconsciously saw Zhang Heng as someone on the same level as him. Apart from that, Honegg also realized that many pirates were lining up, waiting to receive their share of gold coins. Judging by the weight of their money bags, it seemed Zhang Heng had another excellent yield. The prospect of getting rich made the pirates in line drool like little babies.

Zhang Hengs capability of leading his men to good money had been proven once again. The Jackdaw was close to becoming a top-tier crew in Nassau. All they needed right now was some fame to make their name known. Attention from the conflict that they had with the black-market alliance wasnt something they wanted, but rather, they wished to be known as the most successful pirate group of Nassau. Usually, there were no shortcuts around matters like this. After Wiltons death, however, they had inadvertently made their name known throughout the entire Nassau.

Not only did Zhang Heng manage to deal with Wiltons threats, but he also managed to instill the word that no one should mess with him. The name, the Jackdaw, had become a bit of a hush-hush matter. This could be seen from the reaction of Honeggs men. When they heard that Honegg wanted to confront Zhang Heng, they started trembling in fear. This fear and respect he earned came at the cost of 200 lives. Other than Blackbeard who had attacked Charleston and killed two governor-generals, Zhang Heng was now the most highly respected individual of Nassau.
